Trivia

There are many differences between the story of the manga and the game.

The one being revived by Ayumi and Naomi with the Book of Shadows is no longer Mayu Suzumoto, but Seiko Shinohara.

In "Shangri-la" Sakutaro meets up with Nari and Chihaya, but this doesn't seem to be the case in the manga.

Chihaya's fate in the manga is the not the same as in the games.

In the "BLOOD DRIVE" chapters, Ayumi and Naomi hinted that their friends died same way as in "Book of Shadows". It reveals that the "BLOOD DRIVE" chapters happen after the students survive the time loop in Wrong End 6 ★8 of Corpse Party (PSP, iOS).

It is revealed that the corpse in Shangri-la belongs to Mayu, as in the games it was only hinted at.
